A tweak to the original message results in an even more concerning response about the Antichrist

The message originally worked on Hawaiian-to-English translation too, but it seems to have now been fixed.

So what does it all mean?

The Doomsday Clock is a symbolic clock that represents how close we are to the end of the world.

It specifically relates to a man-made catastrophe – like global warming or the threat of global nuclear war.

The apocalypse is midnight, and the clock is regularly adjusted to show how many minutes to midnight (or the end times) we are.

It started off back in 1947 at seven minutes to midnight, and has since been set backwards and forwards a further 23 times – courtesy of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists' Science and Security Board.

Despite what Google's message suggests, the clock is set at an even more terrifying two minutes to midnight.

Google's message about Jesus' return likely relates to the Book of Revelation.

That's a book in the New Testament of the Bible that describes the end of the world, including the coming of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse – and the return of Jesus to Earth.

Given the frosty relations between the US and North Korea, and recent tensions between Britain and Russia, it's easy to see how Google might have got the idea that the world is about to end.
